[Rota island ]

This tiny, remote island in The Marianas is only 20 kilometers long and gets many more visitors each year than it has residents. Balmy weather, sensational sights, and superb scuba diving and water sports are the main attractions on this island.

A tour provider can arrange a snorkeling or scuba diving trip to any of the undersea walls, shipwrecks or vivid coral reefs surrounding the island. Popular sites include the World War II wreck of the Shoun Maru, Blue Hole, and the Grotto, a collapsed limestone cavern with underwater passageways.

Diving, windsurfing, parasailing, and banana boating are available on this island.
